Peeing on my courgettes and squashes ... I must go and research that specific use ... thanks
It was discovered entirely by accident by a mate with an allottment. He was sending his small son into a corner where nothing was growing their side to pee...
Then the allotment holder next door commented on how his "sheltered" courgette plant in the corner did the best when the one in the corner usually didnt do the best.............. hence...a "lex has been piddling there" discussion and a trial last season. The peed on ones definitely grew bigger. I already can see the difference between the one which is having the pee and ones which arent in my patch!! ( must take photos)

Ive dug up 4 self seeded morello cherries, between 2 and 5 years old.
I hope the summer fete ladies want them, otherwise it is a spot of 3am guerilla gardening in my local park.
a boys, willies, wee wee anywhere other than the loo... You know
Ooh, I'd love one - but I'm probably nowhere near you (northants?)

The tree is as tall as the house No chance of netting it. Plus when I looked up netting mature trees, I found there was a likely danger of strangling birds. I have a low squirm/ bleugh threshold!You definitely need to net cherries - though a colleague was collecting duff CDs for his mum to try as bird scarers ...
There's a huge sweet cherry near my brother's house which currently has vast amounts of immature fruit - and no signs of a "June drop" - I remembered your post so looked when I was there on Sunday.
He reckons there's never any fruit left by the birds.
My work clearing the back of the garden for my chickens is seemingly never ending! The house I was on the verge of ordering - (I posted it a month or so back) is too small- it doesnt leave room for me to increase the flock, I spoke to the company and prices go up steeply.Ive been working hard this afternoon! The new chicken enclosure under the leylandii trees is almost complete and Ive just got middle hissyfit to help me move the chicken house. I just have to finish the fencing but have stopped for tea. LOADS of composting stuff to clear up now too GAH!!
I started taking some pics earlier but the batteries ran out on the camera will take some when the work is finished and batteries charged
I actually hadnt considered two houses. Would there be inter house rivalry? Would they sleep in the same place each night?why not consider getting more than one house if you increase your flock?? If you fence off the part of the garden you intend to use you could get a smaller house. They only really tend to sleep/lay in them anyway. They are happiest scratching around.
I like mine, sure but they werent really that happy in it, even though it has a run etc too, they are meant to be able to peck, scratch, dust bathe etc. Mine sound different now Ive just chucked them out in the fenced off area.... less stressed
If I was going to do it again, Id fence off the area and just get a small coop without a run

Without seeing photos I cant tell if my plans echo yours, but Im going to completely cage in a mixed area (wooded/ paved/ some grass) with a large-ish coop in a corner.
Sounds good! Any photos?!Not really posted on here before but here goes....
Our tomato plants are looking very healthy.
I pulled the only ripe strawberry today coz it had been pecked by a bird and it left the sweetest most beautiful smell on my fingers. I sat there sniffing for ages!
The herbs are looking lush although the parsley is a bit bare but only coz we have been using it a bit early.
I couldn't resist
That's a shame about your beans. How long were they in for?
